Cannabis Marshmallows

I don’t know about you, but homemade marshmallows always seemed like one of those recipes that looked way more complicated than they actually are. Turns out, I couldn’t have been more wrong!

The first time I made these Cannabis Marshmallows, I was honestly surprised by how soft, fluffy, and fresh they tasted compared to the store-bought version. Once you make them yourself, it’s hard to go back. Plus, adding a little cannabis infusion makes them even more fun for campfires, hot chocolate, s’mores, or simply enjoying as a sweet edible treat.

Best part? They’re surprisingly easy to make, and most of the work is simply waiting for them to set!

Why You’ll Love These Cannabis-Infused Marshmallows

• Endless Flavor Options: Vanilla is just the beginning. Try peppermint, maple, or citrus extract.
• Great for Gifting: Wrap a few in cellophane bags and you’ve got an amazing homemade gift.
• Soft & Fluffy: They’re incredibly light and far better than the ones you’ll find at the grocery store.

How to Make Cannabis Marshmallows

Ingredients:

• ¼ tsp salt.
• 3 packages unflavored gelatin.
• 1 cup cold water, divided.
• 1½ cups granulated sugar.
• 1 cup light corn syrup.
• 2 tsp vanilla extract.
• 2 tbsp cannabis-infused oil.
• ½ cup powdered sugar.
• ½ cup cornstarch.

Tools:

• Stand mixer or hand mixer.
• Saucepan.
• Candy thermometer.
• Baking pan.
• Rubber spatula.
• Measuring cups & spoons.
• Fine mesh sieve.
• Sharp knife.
• Parchment paper (optional).

Instructions:

1. Prepare the pan: Lightly grease a baking pan. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and cornstarch. Sprinkle a generous layer over the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent sticking.

2. Bloom the gelatin: Pour ½ cup of cold water into the bowl of your stand mixer. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the water and let it sit for about 10 minutes while you prepare the syrup.

3. Make the sugar syrup: In a saucepan, combine the remaining ½ cup water, sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Once dissolved, stop stirring and allow the mixture to cook until it reaches 240°F (116°C) on a candy thermometer.

4. Whip everything together: With the mixer on low, slowly pour the hot syrup into the bloomed gelatin, then whip on high for 10–12 minutes until thick and glossy; add the vanilla and cannabis-infused oil during the last minute and mix until fully incorporated.

5. Spread the marshmallow: Immediately pour the marshmallow mixture into your prepared pan. Use a lightly greased spatula to smooth the top. Dust the surface generously with more of the powdered sugar and cornstarch mixture.

6. Let them set: Allow the marshmallows to sit uncovered at room temperature for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.

7. Cut and coat: Allow the granola bars to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Once completely cooled, refrigerate them for another 30 minutes for cleaner slices.

8. Slice and enjoy: Turn the marshmallow slab onto a cutting board, cut into squares with a sugar-dusted knife, then coat each piece on all sides with the remaining powdered sugar mixture to prevent sticking.

Tips For Better Cannabis Marshmallows

• Grease Everything: THC Marshmallows are incredibly sticky. Lightly greasing your spatula, knife, and even your hands makes the process much easier.
  
  
• Get Creative: Mix in freeze-dried fruit powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon, espresso powder, or flavored extracts to create unique marshmallow flavors.
  
  
• Storage: Store the marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Avoid refrigerating them, as moisture can make them sticky.

Once you make homemade cannabis marshmallows, you’ll quickly realize there’s no comparison to the store-bought version. They’re softer, fluffier, and incredibly versatile, whether you’re making s’mores, topping your favorite hot drink, or enjoying one straight from the container. They’re also one of those recipes that always surprises people when you tell them you made them from scratch.
